Cleveland up They can get through the
straits of Detroit river, but the ice has
drifted down in a compact mass to this end
of Lake Erie and the sharp air Of last night

must be twenty miles of solid ice at this end
of the lake, and dynamite would have no eff
feet on it. The field extends as far as Long
